Why we need a Universal Healthcare System in America

...because the Church isn't doing it.

Posted also on facebook:

In my opinion, the only practical solution for those who are against a Universal Healthcare System in America, is to beat the government at its own game. If Christians would actually DO the Gospel, they would fill the void that the government is trying to fill.

But sadly, as a whole, we have failed to BE the Church and DO the Gospel, giving our government the perfect segue to attempt to do (expensively) what the Church should have been doing all along. I don't mean writing a check so someone else can do the work. I mean making the food, and bringing it, along with clothes, directly to the people that need it, or seeing to their care when sick. (cf. Mt. 25:41-46)

Doin' too much

I've been doing too much lately. Work has been busy, family has been busy with weddings, keeping up with weeds in the grass, new bed for Bethany, and other regular chores, and Gaelic Football, and going here and going there.

Ugg.

Going to take the weekend off. Will try to organize around the house.

Something I've been looking at is a better food organization like the kind they have at ShelfReliance.com



Pretty cool. I think we have just the spot for one of the bigger systems. Being way out in Belle Plaine, it gives us some peace of mind knowing we can have a good supply of food if we get snowed in.
